Register Your Dachshund

Dachshund owners must pre-register their dogs by completing the online registration form at RunningoftheWienersLoveland.com by May 10. There is a small race registration fee of $5 per dog for up to three dogs, and $2 per dog beyond that. The registration fee is waived for any rescue groups that would like to race a dachshund that is available for adoption. Pre-registration is required by May 10 (no race day signup). Mixed-breed dachshunds up to 25 pounds are allowed but will have a separate division. All dogs must be current on their rabies vaccinations and be kept on a leash.

Costume Contest

There will also be a Wiener Dog Costume Contest with prizes awarded for Most Original, Cutest, Funniest, and Best Overall.

What Does it Cost?

The entire event is open to the public and free for spectators. Doors will open at 11 a.m., and pre-registered competitors may begin checking in at noon. The wiener dog races will run from 1-5 p.m. Non-alcoholic beverages and food will also be available for purchase from several vendors, including Blazin’ Wood Fired Pizza, I Scream Colorado, Bedrock BBQ, Chalkboard Gourmet Express, and Bad Benji’s Diggity Dogs.
